At last, the mainstream media are beginning to recognise that Europeans have a dark, bleak future. Bat Ye’or has written much about Eurabia, warning us all of impending danger. I have written The Dawning of a New Dark Age. Many others have written, too, and have warned. Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch springs immediately to mind.
Alas, the powers that be, hitherto, have been unwilling to take the tough measures necessary to stop this trend of increasing Islamisation. Not only that, they have made matters far worse than they need be by allowing mass immigration from mainly Muslim countries, and giving in to Muslims’ demands at every turn so as to appease the Muslim voters and garner more votes for their party. This is particularly true of the Labour Party in the United Kingdom. Again, we see the leftist, socialist agenda kicking in to destroy our way of life.
Working women have little time to have babies, and when they do have them, it is usually late in life, allowing time for one or two babies at most.
In our warped Western way of life, these days a woman being able to climb the career ladder is far more important for society than a woman who elects to stay home and be a full-time, caring mother. The result of these mistaken choices are beginning to become plain to see: We are losing our Judeo-Christian civilisation to the Islamic world. What Muslims once failed to do by force, they are now doing by silent invasion; and Westerners are sitting back and allowing this to happen.
A civilisation which is unprepared to fight for what it believes in is destined to perish; and perish Western civilisation will unless this whole process is kicked into reverse. The process can be reversed. But the will has to be there. The will and the determination.
Surely people can by now see what life will be like for us and our children when Islam becomes dominant. Women will become second class citizens. Gays will be executed. Apostasy will be punishable by death. Christians and Jews will be given dhimmi status, i.e. will become protected citizens in return for the price of a punitive tax called the jizyah. Adherents to all other religions, i.e. those who are not ‘People of the Book’, will not be tolerated.
Sharia law will be introduced, and henceforward, the whole gamut of harsh punishments for transgressions, minor and major, will be utilised: stonings for adultery, beheadings for crime, amputations for theft. Of course, because of the changing mentality of the people, honour-killings for women who bring shame on the family will become ever more commonplace.
What many Westerners fail to understand is this: There is no such thing as Islam-lite. Islam remains as Islam always was: unchanging and unchangeable; strict and harsh; supremacist and domineering.
We, all of us, have tough decisions to make about our children’s future. Do we want to leave a world behind for them which will enable them to live as we have been able to live: in freedom and security, free from religious harassment? Or do we want to cast all fate to the wind and let the chips fall for them where they may?
It is to be hoped that we will all opt for the former; after all, it’s the only sensible, responsible option.

In my view, Westerners believe so because it is more comfortable to believe so.
The beginning of this post states: At last, the mainstream media are beginning to recognise that Europeans have a dark, bleak future.
Awareness is but the first step. Will political leaders take note and act upon the awareness? If not, I see but two choices:
(1) submit to Islam and become part of the caliphate
(2) revolution so as to reinstate Western law FULLY

Yes, indeed! This goes for our miserable, cowardly politicians, too. Freeloaders all!

Again, I can only agree with you. But they will probably not act, because they are afraid to do so. They are almost all weakness personified. Politicians are shadows of their former selves.

(1) submit to Islam and become part of the caliphate
(2) revolution so as to reinstate Western law FULLY
Submission is coming as sure as night follows day. Revolution, though a glorious concept, is unlikely, at least unless Westerners grow a backbone.
If revolution isn't going to happen, I hope to be gone from this world by the time the submission comes.
9/11 and 7/7 served to wake up many slumberers. More attacks may do the same, although I note that the Mumbai and Jakarta attacks have not awakened any more slumberers in the West.
As you know, BHO is singing kumbaya to all the Islamic world. I can't imagine that there won't be a consequence during his term of office. Wahhabists smell victory with the dhimmi )Moslem?) in the White House.

You and me both!

How many attacks will it take?

BHO is "kumbaya" personified! He is weak and stupid and appeasing.
I can't imagine that there won't be a consequence during his term of office.
There surely will be.

I couldn't agree with you more. Victory is theirs for the taking!
Alas, I fear that Western civilization will only be saved by revolution. The West is in the grip of Pop Culture, which because of its ignorance of and distaste for values of Western Civilization and because of its slavish adherence to political correctness, will only cave into Islam. One can only hope that there are enough decent and intelligent people who will rise up against this insanity to stop it before it is too late.

Revolution is not so easy to imagine. For revolution to occur, the people have to be extremely disgruntled, disgruntled to the point that they are willing to place everything they have on the roulette wheel. Consider the circumstances of the Russian Revolution.
Another problem is that Islam is gaining ground by creep. It's like a robber in the night. You don't realize you have a problem until he's in your face. Then it's too late.
Fact is: What really needs to be done is for our governments to change their policies. But what hope do we have of that? Obama will not do anything. He is the friend of the Islamic world. Consider all the positive statements he has made concerning Islam and Muslims.
European governments, similarly, will do nothing. They are far too afraid of making a stand.
The places where social unrest is likely to take place are in the places where Islam is taking over and the indigenous population are being alienated. There is a distinct possibility of social unrest in those ghettos. In fact, it is in such places that civil war could take root. With governments being too week, the people will then take matters into their own hands.
Whether such unrest could escalate into full scale revolution remains to be seen.
The West is in the grip of Pop Culture, which because of its ignorance of and distaste for values of Western Civilization...
Yes, and by contrast, Muslims are the slaves of Allah. They will live and die for him.
...and because of its slavish adherence to political correctness, will only cave into Islam.
Yes indeed. That's where Westerners really are stupid. Adherence to political correctness is the wholesale sell-out of all that we had hitherto held dear. It's ridiculous and very weak.
But in many ways, political correctness is a crotch and cop out for the politicians, because it lets them off the hook. Now, they have an excuse not to do anything about the problem.
One can only hope that there are enough decent and intelligent people who will rise up against this insanity to stop it before it is too late.
Hope springs eternal!
i wish people here would wake up FASTER to the fact that Islam is all or nothing!
Elvis:
Welcome!
i wish people here would wake up FASTER to the fact that Islam is all or nothing!
You and me both! The powers that be do know, I believe. Folks not engaged in politics are so busy getting on with their own lives that they pay scant regard to the problem. One of these days they'll have their 'rude awakening', though. But then it will be too late.
"Bat Ye’or has written much about Eurabia" (Mark)
There is no such thing as Eurabia except in the mind of conspiracy theorists and Europeans-haters.

I can assure you that I am NO conspiracy theorist, and I certainly am no hater of Europe. On the contrary, I love Europe. Always have.
And yes, there is no such place as Eurabia today; but wait a while. Bat Ye'or has done some pretty scholarly research. Her writings are not to be scoffed at. We all ignore her warnings at our own peril.
Her warnings make uncomfortable reading; her prognostications take people beyond their comfort zones. But this is no reason to ignore such warnings.
By the way, I doubt that Bat Ye'or is a Europe-hater: she lives in Switzerland, I believe. Right in the heart of Europe (though not the EU).
